Is religion/atheism a deal breaker?
In a previous thread, it was brought to my attention that to be someone's partner, sometimes, your religion matters.
This person (who shall remain unnamed) claims that girls have taken an interest in him, but because he was an atheist, they shunned away immediately.
This can go either way. If you're an atheist, can you date a religious person?
[spoiler]Atheist:
Someone who doesn't subscribe to any and all supernatural deities. Includes agnostics of all kinda.
Religious person: someone who believes or hopes for a God and an afterlife. Isn't exclusive to church goers or faith holders. [/spoiler]
On the show, "The atheist experience", one of the hosts say that his fiancé's family thinks he's satan because he's an atheist.
Likewise, I have also turned down girls because their religious beliefs were to extreme for me (abortion, evolution, etc.)
So, what do you guys think?

Edited by Oneironaut: 9/21/2013 6:48:56 PMIt's not really a matter of "can" or "can't" (because anyone is capable of getting in a relationship but that doesn't mean it's going to work out) it's more less a matter of, is the person willing to be in a relationship with a person who has (insert belief here) and make it work despite their differences in beliefs? I can see it being possible, but in the long run the relationship most likely isn't going to last 'cause sooner or later their differences in beliefs are going to cause conflicts some way or another and if they can't overcome them, their relationship is going to end. Of course, all of that is just my opinion, so don't put much thought into it.
